OAKLAND — Guard Stephen Curry’s status is up in the air for Monday night’s game against the Charlotte Hornets at Oracle Arena, but the Warriors may have good news with the long-awaited return of Harrison Barnes.

Barnes, who has missed 16 straight games over five weeks with a left ankle sprain, is listed as probable for the game, as is forward Brandon Rush, who missed Saturday night’s win over Denver with right hamstring tightness. Barnes suffered the injury Nov. 27 at Phoenix.

Curry, who has a left shin contusion after getting kicked in the same area that caused him to miss two games this week, is listed as questionable.

Elsewhere on the injury front, center Festus Ezeli (sore toe, left foot) is doubtful, while guard Leandro Barbosa (left shoulder sprain) and forward James Michael McAdoo (sprained toe, left foot) will be out of action.

Faried posted on Instagram on Sunday he’s “a little sore, but I’m the Manimal — I’m not going to (let) this keep me down & out long!”

Faried’s CT scan was normal, and he’s listed as questionable for Sunday night’s against Portland. Faried is the team’s leading rebounder this season.

Faried took an elbow to the back of the neck while fighting for a rebound late in overtime. He rubbed his neck before lying down at the end of Denver’s bench.

He was later removed from the court on a stretcher and taken to a hospital as a precaution while the Nuggets flew home.
